The myth of dietary variety.

For fun, I dialed-in a diet to see how simply I could meet my dietary requirements. (Yes, for fun. I have a French essay and I'm bored.)
This is working on the assumption that weekly averages matter more than daily intake.

The add-ons: to balance 6:3, increase calcium, vitamin D2 and vitamin K eat fish (bone-in) and either broccoli, spinach or dairy twice a week. (So 100g sardines/kippers twice a week and 300g broccoli twice a week would be a good example.) (+£3/week)

Perfection is entirely individual. Any philosophy or pursuit that encourages individuality has merit in that it frees people. Any that encourages shackles only has merit in that it shows you how wrong and desperate the human mind can get in its pursuit of truth.
